Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

The Ghost Of You Walks

If that was our goodbye kiss

Seems a habit too good to miss

Once more for the memory

Hit the heights too well that time

To leave it there would be a crime

Seems more like beginning to me

At least we tried, took the biggest bite

Least we did it right

With all our souls and all our might

Blue murder on the dance floor, French kisses in the rain

Blood wedding in the water till I see you again

Dutch courage is the game and the ghost of you walks

The ghost of you walks, the ghost of you walks

The ghost of you walks right through my head

Sleepwalks at the foot of my bed

Sends old shivers over my skin

Love like that, won't let go

It's got some kind of a mind of its own

I can't break out and I can't break in

At least we lived, took it all at a rush

At least we loved too much

Felt too much, cared too much

Blue murder on the dance floor, French kisses in the rain

Blood wedding in the water till I see you again

Dutch courage is the game and the ghost of you walks

The ghost of you walks, the ghost of you walks
